With this file manager change we found the Budgie-Nemo integration in the options Right-click to change the background, start Budgie-desktop setup. In addition to that Nemo can be started from Plank, as well as from the icon-task-list applet.
Also within the requests heard by the developers Plank Dock has now been switched to the bottom of the screen it is transparent and has bounce animations by default.
De packages that were removed from the system, we found that TLP it is no longer included in the system installation.
This is because the developers argue that:
The kernel power savings in kernel 4.18 and later is significant for newer computers. TLP is still available to be installed if the kernel power saving does not affect you due to the use of an older CPU.
The Caffeine flag has been removed and replaced with the native caffeine budgie applet which is included with Budgie desktop 10.5.
